Bug Description

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
virtualbox_7.0.14-dfsg-1_amd64.deb

When calling for help (F1) in VirtualBox 7.0.14 it says "Can't find help".

Calling "strace virtualbox" provides

access("/usr/share/doc/virtualbox/UserManual_C.qhc", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT
access("/usr/share/doc/virtualbox/UserManual.qhc", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT

/usr/share/doc/virtualbox/ contains a UserManual.pdf but none of the ".qhc" files.

But: the deb file downloaded directly from virtualbox.org contains:
UserManual.pdf
UserManual.qch
UserManual.qhc

(https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.14/virtualbox-7.0_7.0.14-161095~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb)

Summary: The Ubuntu virtualbox packages don't contain the needed UserManual files
